Urohaze (English spelling) spottyband goby
A fish of the genus Goby in the family Gobiidae of the order Perciformes (illustration). Its snout is large, with the lower jaw protruding further than the upper jaw, and the tip of its tongue divided into two. Its head is flattened vertically. Its body is gray-brown with five dark brown spots on its sides. There is a dark brown band running from under the eye to the lower jaw. The first dorsal fin has three unclear stripes. The fish has noticeable black spots. As the fish grows, the left and right pelvic fins join together to form a suction cup-like cavity, hence the name Uro goby.
